1.1 Overview

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R410 is ideal for compute-intensive applications in space-constrained
®
environments. It is a powerful, ultra-dense 2-socket 1U server that offers the performance of Intel
®
Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series, DDR3 memory, and the availability of up to four hard drives
(3.5" or 2.5"), and is an exceptional value.
The PowerEdge R410 features include an open HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) software
stack, excellent diagnostics with an interactive LCD, and an optimum chassis depth of 24" for space-
constrained data centers and HPCC environments.
The Dell PowerEdge R410 was developed with a customer-inspired design, energy-optimized
technology, advanced virtualization capabilities, and simplified systems management.

1.2 Design for Usability

The PowerEdge R410 follows the eleventh-generation PowerEdge portfolio specifications and features
the same system design commonality and reliability as the entire portfolio. All eleventh-generation
PowerEdge servers are designed to make the user experience easier. Dell puts all external ports,
power supplies, LCD screens, and LED lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as
easy installation and deployment.
The PowerEdge R410 provides reduced complexity, showcasing clutter-free cable routing for more
efficient airflow and easier maintenance. An LCD screen positioned by the front of the bezel provides
aisle-level access to deploy the server.

1.3 Energy Efficient

The PowerEdge R410 features energy-tuned technologies that reduce power consumption while
increasing performance capacity so you can compute more while consuming less. The R410
incorporates Energy Smart design using low-flow fans and logical component layout of the internal
components, which aid with airflow direction. These design elements, along with policy-driven power
and thermal management help keep the server cool and reduce noise as much as possible. A robust
fan cage design with hot-plug, single-pull fan modules provides efficient airflow and eases
maintenance. Energy efficient and compact, the PowerEdge R410 is designed with value and
reliability for HPCC environments.

1.4 Easy to Manage

With the optional advanced embedded systems management capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dell
provides comprehensive enterprise class manageability already on the motherboard. Lifecycle
Controller is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge
R410. The Lifecycle Controller helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive
set of management functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration
and diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS
environment. This helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD
media.
